How to fetch chunks of data with createResouce?
How can I use
createResource to fetch chunks of data from a paginated API endpoint? I need to fetch more data when the user clicks a button and then store that somewhere. Afaict you can't update the data createResource stores since refetching, mutating will get rid of the old data right? Do I need to store the data in a signal for this?2 Replies

value argument which corresponds to the old value of the createResource signal if it has one. Then we can use value in the fetcher to merge the old and new state.Solid Playground

would nesting suspenses be equivalent to the second optimization?
I'm not sure when to use or not to use suspenses. I thought it was good practice to use them together with
createResource
right, and that would be wrapped in a suspense
isn't the advantage of suspense over show that you can load dom elements while the data is being fetched instead of doing all the work when the promise resolves
